The school focused on local traditional urbanism, architecture and building details. During its two week duration the stress was to acclimatise participants with the region and its architectural vocabulary followed by an urban design intervention for the town. The process was facilitated by faculty coordinators, guest lecturers through workshops. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16 July 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the participants met at Elvas, Portugal and were introduced to the faculty and the basic intent of the summer school. We briefly explored the streets of town with its various churches, forts and piazzas, the latter being a recurring theme in our visits to towns\/cities later. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elvas is one of the finest example of intensive usage of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trace italienne<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (star fort) in military architecture, and has been a World Heritage Site since 30 June 2012.

A small fortification on one of the highest terrain in Alentejo. It served as an excellent example of urban design in tricky contours. Followed by a brief tour of the town, all the participants were divided into groups to map out various piazzas of the town. Post documentation, we attended our first set of lectures of the workshop.

Here we were presented with various artefacts from the Roman times. Most fascinating of them were the glassware that were found intact. We visited the excavation site and saw its civic feature like roads (cardo and decumanus), gates and temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stop on our journey was the city of Castelo de Vide. During our tour of the city, we took note of street layout that were sometimes along contours and sometimes perpendicular to it. The placement of church and its square formed the focal point of the city with roads leading to it transforming into essential market streets. We also visited the Jewish neighbourhood and saw marked difference in it as opposed to the rest of the city. To document the city efficiently we were again divided in groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day ended with another series of lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lecture 1: <em>The Landscapes of the Alentejo,<\/em> Aurora Carapinha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lecture 2: <em>How to retrofit vernacular architecture in a protected area?

Permutations of these elements have produced a vibrant city life that not only caters residents but is a delight to tourists and travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were fortunate enough to witness a restoration of an old villa close to the city cathedral.
